Creston man charged with strangulation, burglary.

Kevin L. Davis, 30, of Creston, was taken into custody Monday morning by Waukee Police after he allegedly forced his way into a Waukee apartment, brandished a firearm, threatened one occupant and assaulted the female resident.

According to a Waukee Police Department report, at approximately 5:42 a.m. Dec. 5, officers were flagged down by a man near University and Maple Leaf Lane who told them an assault had just taken place at a nearby apartment complex.

While attempting to find the residence, officers were given more information by dispatch, who had also received a report of the incident. Officers were told a male subject, identified as Davis, had kicked down the front door of an apartment at nearby Lyn Circle Townhomes and was holding one person at gunpoint. The man, who officers later learned had been in the residence during the first part of the assault but was able to get out to flag down help, ran across the street and pointed to the building where it occurred.

Multiple officers responded to the area and moments later removed a male and female without further incident.

The female, who lives at the residence, told officers after kicking in the door Davis pointed a black and silver handgun at a man who was in the apartment before choking the victim and blocking her airway. Davis left visible redness and marks on the victims neck and caused her to be lightheaded.

A protective order, issued Aug. 5 by consent agreement in Union County between Davis and the victim was in place at the time of the assault.

Davis was charged with first degree burglary, domestic abuse assault by impeding the flow of blood and/or air and violation of a protective order by Waukee Police.

Davis was transported to the Dallas County Jail and is being held on a $30,000 cash or surety bond.
